THE INTELLIGENCER. LOCAL, 31 ATTERS. TO ADVERTISERS. Tlie ANDERSON INTELLIGENCER has reached a weekly circulation of 1,850 Cuides, and is ' antly increasing. It ruachua every nook und corner of Anderson County, having near l,50O subscriber* within ita limita. AU persons contemplating advertising aro cordially invited to call and examine our subscription book and billi for paper, and bc convinced of the truth of tho-abovc assertion. Our terms are moderate. BRIEF MENTION. Cotton-Middlings, 8 to 84. Let not over-coulldcnco keep a single voter from the polia on next Tuesday. Anderson baa again become- the leading cotton market of the upjier part of South Carolina. Mr. ii. Frank Mauhlin has removed into Iiis elegant new residence on Main street, ?ii the northern portion of town. He sure to attend thc meeting of the Anderson Democratic Club next Friday evening. The work is not yet completed. Mr. P. A. Masters, of V?rennos township, has favored tia with thc finest specimen of sweet potatoes wc have seen this season, the largest of which weighs eight pounds. Every vote cast which is not fof thc ticket, weakens the tics of the porty, encourages independents, and tends to destroy tho voice of thc majority, and ensures factions within the party. Cotton continues to pour into our town from every direction, and our merchants continue to pay thc very highest price for it, in consequence of which they are kept busy day and night. The theatrical entertainments in Masonic Hall on last Thursday and Friday evenings were brilliant successes. Tho pieces were well rendered, and reflected great credit on the young ladies and gentlemen interested. The proceeds of thc two evenings aggregate $U0. In order to give the fullest returns possi ble of the election which takes place in thia and other States next Tuesday, the INTEL IJOBKCBB will not bo issued until Thursday afternoon next week. Wc mention this in order that our subscribers who usually get their papers Thursday morning may know why they full to receive them. Thc gin house of Mr. J. D. Pruiett, in the lower part of this County, was consumed by fire on last Sunday night, between V2 and 1 o'clock. His loss was heavy, having hail two good gins, a cotton press, and about thirty bales of cotton burned. Loss from ?fi.iw to ?u.uuu. Circumstances indicate thal it must have been the work of an in cendiary. All articles intended for exhibition at the State Fair in Columbia, which commencos on the 12th day of next month, will be transported over tho railroads free of charge. The freight ia required to be paid on them tu Columbia, and upon thc return of the annies and a certificate that they were ex hibited at the fair, the amount of freight paid will be refunded. Messrs. Mason and Larimer, salesmen for thc Louis Cook Carriages, offer their thanks to thc citizen? of Anderson County for the liberal patronage extended and courtesies shown them, and beg to say that they will ue in Anderson on or about the first of Jan uary next, Kith another lot of vehicles, which will be sold as cheap ra they can be bought in the United States. Wait for the wagon, boya. 1* Hon. Walter M. Gibson, formerly of this County, but now a resident of thc Sand wich Islands, ia at present on a visit to bia relatives and frienda in this County. At the request of a number of the citizens of the town, he delivered on lust Tuesday evening a very instructive and Interesting lalure on the political condition, agricul tura! resources, and commercial relations of the country. We will publish in our next issue an outline of thu lecture, which will he read with interest by our subscribers. We regret to record the death of Mrs. David Simmons, wife of Kev. David Sim mons, who died after an illness of several weeks in Ly 'en, Cass County. Texas, on tho 13th day o September last. Kev. David Simmons removed from thia County to Texas some ten or twelve years ago. Mrs. Simmons was an aged mother in Israel, and died in th? hope of a blessed immortality. The bereaved ones, in their far-off home, have the sympathies of a large cii .'.e of relatives and friends in thia County In their sad bereavement. William H. P- . e?\ the Radical leader in this County, in a speech at Townville on lust Friday, advised the colored people to tote for any man who would run as an in dependent in thia County, because bc said that was the best way to break up the party. In this he told the truth, and our people should remember it. Any person who runs aa an independent now ia really a Radical, though ho may pretend to bo a Democrat. If possible, he ia worso than a Radical, because ho baa i% desire to assist diem to break up tho Democratic party, and at the same time pretends to be a Dein tx-rat, in order to deceive enough Democrats into voting for them to elect, when com bined with tho Radical vote, which they nra ?ur? ~. 50Jij?y> yjUF people tdiould remember this, and vote thc Democratic hcket solidly, not only to pecure victory "ow, bot to deter independents in 1880. nothing bat a full acceptance of thc Demo Icfatic nominations will continue the party ln P0^', and assure its futuro ascendancy.

Thc eleventh annum exhibition of thc Anderson Furniers' and Mechanics' Asso ciation was held at its grounds in Anderson on lost Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and we aro gratified lo say wan much more successful than its most ardent friends and supporters had hope-* r,>r. Owing to the many public meetings th. . nave been held during the past few months, and thc heated canvass through which wc have just past ed, lack ol interest manifested in thc Fair this year, though, Laking every thing Into consid eration, it was by no means discouraging. In some of the departments there was a considerable falling off in tho quantity on exhibition, while tho greater variety and superior quality probably more than made up for this deficit, and certainly rendered the departments equally interesting anu at tractive with former years. The small at tendance was not a surprise to the mana gers, inasmuch as the weather was fine, and our faro -'rs were known to bo busily en gaged in gathering their cotton, which hos opened moro rapidly this Fall than usual, coupled with thc fact that they have lost a great deal of time from their farms in the course of the ]>olit?cal cam'taign, which is now nearing its close. While wo recognize the fact that the success of th , individual farmer and mechanic ls paramount in thc development of the resources of a country, at the same time we can cone? ive of no way or means by which the two combined can better secure and advoncc their respective interests than by er.couraging and suppor ting an institution the prime object of which is to create and excite competition on the pnrt of our people in striving to excel in the pursuit in which they are engaged, however humble it may bc, thereby serving the two-fold purposo of encouraging indus try and adding to the comforts, conven iences and pleasures of life. We do not take it that the slim attendance and thc falling off in thc number of articles on exhibition is an argument that our people are growing tired of our annual fairs, but simply is an evidence that they arc carrying out the first great law of nature in looking after and advancing their individual and personal interests, which is in itself both praiseworthy and pleasing. A short notice of the various departments in thc order in which thc}' come may not prove uninteresting. Tho first of these is tho FIELD CBOF D E PA RTMEMT, which occupies a small shed independent of thc main building, and on its north side, in which nearly every crop and vegetable grown in this climate was represented, and that, too, by the very best ot species, show ing a high and superior state of cultivation by the exhitition. E me samples of cotton, corn, wheat, oats, barloy, potatoes, turnips, rice, and in fact almost everything else known to tho farmers of this section, went there, and .-jflcctcd great credit on tho farm ers of our County, and gave substantial and unmistakable evidence of progress in tUe science of farming. The very fin? specimens of potatoes, both sweet and Irish, deserve especiul mention, as does also thc bales of hay and the superior sam ples of wheat and other small grain. This department can and should be made still more interesting by our (armers and gar deners. It is the chief of all the industries, and upon its development depends the prosperity and progress of a country. Let us hope for a more general exhibition of the products of the farm and garden in the future. Every farmer in Anderson County can add something to tho attractions of this department. STOCK DEPARTMENT-CATTLE AND SHEEP. Tho exhibitions in this department were full" equal in number, and certainly far superior in quality, to any ever made in this County before, especially as to cattle. All of tho improved breeds were well rej> reser.ted, besides several specimens of native stock that were equally as fine, and alto gether gave evidence of increased interest on tlie part of our people in improving their stock of cattle. Only a small num ber of siieep wore on exhibition, but they were very lino. HOBSES AND MULES. As usual, tho display here was good, and elicited the attention of visitors. The number of entries made was not so large as on former occasions, but was sufficient to make this especial feature of the Fair the most attractive of all others. Nearly all thc premiums in this department this year were taken hy citizens of our own County, which is, to say the least, u favo, able and gratifying indication. There is no reason why Anderson County cannot have as fine horses as her neighbors, and we hope in the future more attention will be paid to this department by our citizens. The mules were also very fine, though few in number. HOGS. There was a small number of entries in this department, though in point of quality tho exhibition was very satisfactory. It was not equal to past years, either in variety or numbers, but in proportion to everything else may be considered a very creditable ex hibition. TUE POULTRY DEPARTMENT was Vu? next inspected, tho exhibitions in which, we aro pleased to say, will compare favorably with any of former years. Kapc cial credit is due the proprietors of tho Ash tabula Stock Farm, Messrs. Warren & Sirio ling, of Pendleton, for n very !?rgo propor tion of the interest and attractiveness ol this department, who had on exhibition liol only a large lot of fowls, but also a collec tion of domestic rabbits of rare beauty and excellent grade. A pair of white mice alsc attracted considerable attention. Theil chickens and turkcya were certainly as tim as any wo ever saw, and if tho grades ex hibited could be introduced into our Count] they would surely improve thc quality o our fowls, which, aa a general thing, is no very geed. In addition io the tplisndk exhibit of Messrs. Warren & Slribling other persona had fino specimens of barn yard fowls on exhibition, which rendorci thia deportment especially attractive. Th outdoor departments having been examinee we now enter thc building, where the inge ?nilly, skill and taste of thc ladies are espe dally displayed. THE HOUSEHOLD DEPARTMENT la thc first to arrest our attention as we en ter the building at the east end, and bchol tho splendid array of bottles, jars, tumblers cans, mm ninny uiher vessels, fi usu wm every description of aweet meats. Tho firs in order, as we pass around through th building to thc right, is tho wines, shrub! cordials, acids, specimens of fruit, etc which oro always especially fine. Jiu abovo this department wc find the displa of canned fruit, brandy poaches, chrysta! ized fruit, ete., which, we are pleased t note, is both large and varied. We nej encounter the pickles, catsups and the lik< and aro pleased to report that our hous< wives fully realize and oppreciatc tho im portancc of these excellent articles on on tables. Further on we como to the jellie; jams, preserves, marmalades, etc., wide would bo sufficient, ~e should judge, t satisfy thc taste o?" the ast fastidious cp cure. We next come co thc department where the more substantial articles of foo arc found, sr.ch ss breeds, er..:?, >-.= hams* butter, corms! beef, syrup, drir fruits and many other articles too mime ona to mention, alt of which reflect cred on the superior skill of the ladies of ot town and county. We next go to tho MAMTACTURKRH' DKPAKTMKNT, which, wc regret to note, is not as full < usual. A patent fruit drier and a patent plow with moulds, the latter an invention of Mr. J. C. Gantt, of this County, deserve special notice. Tho display of domestic manufactures, such as carpeting, jeans, coverlets, blankets, quilts, rugs, etc., was very good, though not equal to previous years. Tho redeeming character in this dis ply is In the superior quality of the articles exhibited. TIIK NEEDLE AND FANCY WORK DEPAKTMENT i? nd usual, attractive sud friteianiiijg, es pecially to thc ladies, who alone catt fully appreciate thc raro taste and superior skill displayed in the many articles exhibited. The specimens of embroidery, braiding and crochet are indeed exquisite, while the large number of garments, and ?tarta of garments, together with the thousand and one other specimens of hendiwork, contiibute to render a closo observation und inspection of thc articles on exhibition in this deport ment of both interest and profit to all thoso who delight in such work. We next in spect the , FINK A BT DEPARTMENT, which is equally as good, if not superior, to any exhibition of former years, both in point of the quantity and quality of articles. The paintings and drawings were all very line, and elicited general praise from those present, as did also the other articles in thia department. Last, but not least, ;j the MISCELLANEOUS DEPARTMENT. Among the novelties here thc most promi nent is a "postage stamp lire screen," ex hibited by Mrs. II. L. Keys, and which is too unique to attempt description. Tbl? department is always interesting, as it is herc wo lind collected the novelties and curiosities of the Fair. A very prominent feature of thc Fair this year is the fine dis play of tho M'XMITH MUSIC HOUSE, of Greenville, which contributed a great dea! to the pleasure of tho occasion. Two pianos ami several organs were kept busy the greater part of tho time by linc per formers. A large collection of sheet music was displayed, and Mr. and Mrs. McSmith did everything in their power to add to the interest of thu Fair. The Anderson Palmetto Band discoursed martial music on Thursday and Friday to the delight and pleasure of all present. This concludes the sketch of thc most im portant features of our County Fair, and although an imperfect one, it will, we hope, assist those of our readors who were not present to form some general idea of what it was, and to what extent successful. Foi thc persevering and energetic efforts exerted in behalf of thc Association by its President, Hon. B. F. Crayton, and acting Secretary, Col. J?s. IJ. Orr, too much credit cannot bi given. The closing feature of the occasion as usual, was the report of the Secretary made up from the reports of tho varioui awarding committees, which was made ii the building about 3 o'clock on Friday af ternoon, when many anxious hearts wer relieved. The crowd then dispersed, am everybody seemed well pleased with th eleventh annual fair. ABBEVILLE FBE8B A B ABNER AND TH] STATE BOABD OF EQUALIZATION. The JV.-. . and Banner is greatly exercise over the action of the State Board of Equal ization in raising tho assessment of reo estate in Abbeville County, and so far as i reflects upon t'ne action of Col. J.N. Browr it does that gentleman great injustice, as li was unavoidably absent from the mcetiu of the Board until tba last day, and ha nothing to do in raising tho ossessmcn He states, however, that had he been pre ent, no doubt he would have concurre with tho Board, and is willing to bear b share of the responsibility. He says th; he \vu3 present when the Board incrcust the assessment on incorporated cities, towt and villages, and it raised it on property j thc Abbeville towns and villages twelve p cent., in Anderson, thirteen percent., ai in different amounts in certain otb counties. If Abbeville is grievous wronged, no doubt the Legislatui where she will be so ably represente will extend to her thc relief to which si is entitled. Tiie great depression in bu; ness and the stringency in money mattet have caused a declino in real estate ever where, and forced sales show a great fal ing off in prices, but tho taxpayers in son Counties have come up nearer to their fe mer assessments than in ethers. It is pr sumed that the Board will explain thc reasons for their action, as it is made source of so much grievous complaint I our neighbor. SUPERVISORS OF ELECTION FOB A: DERDOH COUNTY.

Court, tho senior proprietor takes the liberty of publishing tho following compli mentary notices, taken from some of our State exchanges : Maj. E. P.. Murray, of the Anderson INTELLIGENCER, bends the ticket to the leg islature. For so young a man to be the editor of the biggest weekly in tho State, and to hoad tho ticket from thobijrtrest Rpm. ocratic County, is, to say the least, glory enough for one day. He has mir sincerest Congratulations.- U'innsboiv News and Her ald. The primary election In Anderson Coun ty was held oil thc 18th instant, and at the head of the ticket for the House of Repre sentatives stands a young mau who is sure- I Iv destined to bc a leader in South Carolina. We allude to Edwards II. Murray, Esq., editor of the Anderson INTELLIGENCER. Mr. Murray-the oldV-st son of Rev. John Scott Mltrray, a lawyr r pnd Duptist clergy niau of great ability and v.ry high character- is not yet twenty-four yeaii* of agc; and still, for the last two yeats, he has been the ablest editor in our State, and now goes to the Legislature as tho son whom Anderson most honors. We hnve had kindly rela tions with him and his in other times ; and now it gladdens our heart to seo him achieving sueli honorable success so carly ill life.-Edeficld Advertiser. The primary election In Anderson have resulted in the election of Col. ll. F. Cray ton for thc Senate, and Messrs. Murray, Brown. Mattison and Wilson for the House. With all of these gentlemen but Messrs. Mattison and Wilson we arc acquainted, and without hesitation we say Anderson has put forward a good ticket. Col. Crayton is well known as the President of the State Agricultural Society, and as one who has done much for tho "farming interests of his County. Major Murray is tho young, tal ented County Chairman of the Democratic party and editor of the INTELLIOENCEB, than which no purer mid bolder journal is pub lished In tue 8 tate. Dr. Brown was in the last Legislature, and made his mark as a bold thinker and ready talker. In such goodly company are ? essrs. Wilson und Mattison found thut, though wo do not know them personally, wo have no doubt of their fitness for thc positions. Anderson always elects her ticket, so, beyond perad venture, these gentlemen will occupy seats ii the next General Assembly. And it is a source of pleasure to know that men of character and ability are being returned thereto.-Ninety-Six Ouardian. A CARD. PENDLETON, S. C., Oct. 20th, 1878. Mn. EDITOB: It would seem from a local in the Williamston Standard of this week, and thc comments of individuals, that it is apprehended that one of thc defeated candi dates for the Senate may run as an inde pendent. As far as I am concerned, I de sire it distinctly understood that no consid eration under thc Heavens could induce me to ?dace myself, or allow myself to bo placed, in such a position. A result has been reached in accordance with the rules established by the Democratic party itself, and the individual members of the party must, to a man, support tho nomination, or else by seeking to redress thc imagined or real wrongs of to-day, they will surely work the complote disintegration of tho party, and place Anderson County absolutely In the hands of thc Radicals. I stated during the canvass that I would have no quarrel with any one who might voto against me. as every one certainly had the right to vote in accordance with the dictates of his con science. But I did and still do deplore the manner in which some few of^tho candi dates s?7,' fit to cuiduct tho canvass. Such a. practice once becoming the rule will prove itself at variance to the best interest of nil the people. But the timo to correct mis takes is not now. What we want at this time is tho burying of private prejudices and such a solidification of tho party or ganization that no internal heat can melt or dissipate it. To my friends, wherever scattered over tho County, I return my warmest thanks for thc fervent manner in which they sup ported and maintained my cause, and es pecially do I thank them for their unswerv ing confidence, maintained to thc last, in my honesty of purpose and integrity, amidst the thousand and ono misrepresentations and lies circulated by designing persons broadcast over the County against me.
